Chapter 955: Chapter 955: Hundreds of Lives

"Old Master once promised his daughter-in-law that he would make her the official wife. This matter is also known to the Mother-in-law, so why now are you speaking of the daughter-in-law in this manner?"

Lady Tang bowed her head, looking very aggrieved.

"Promote to the official wife?"

Old Madam sneered coldly, "With your vicious heart, who would dare promote you? Not casting you out is already a great mercy."

"Nanny Zhang, go call the Old Master over." Suddenly, Old Madam turned her head and loudly ordered the old maid by her side.

"Old Madam?" Nanny Zhang was somewhat astonished, wondering if Old Madam really intended to divorce Auntie Tang.

"What are you dawdling for? If I tell you to go, then hurry up and go." Old Madam waved her hand impatiently.

"Oh!"

The old maid had no choice but to turn around and leave.

As a servant, he had no power to interfere in the affairs of the Master.

"Mother-in-law, you...!"

"You guessed right, I indeed want Yongjie to divorce you." Old Madam did not hide her intentions at all.

Auntie Tang became somewhat panicked now; Old Madam was so heartless that she actually wanted Situ Yongjie to divorce her.

Auntie Tang’s panic was not unwarranted; Situ Yongjie had never liked her. Ever since she entered the household, he hadn’t laid a hand on her, and if it wasn’t for Old Madam’s strategies, they probably wouldn’t have had four children.

Yes, every time Situ Yongjie shared a bed with her, it happened after he was drunk, courtesy of Old Madam.

If Old Madam really did have Situ Yongjie divorce her, he probably wouldn’t even think twice and would immediately agree.

The more Auntie Tang thought about it, the more frightened she became. At this moment, she could no longer care about anything else: "Mother-in-law, your daughter-in-law will tell you the truth, in fact, many of the skeletons in the dry well were killed by Zhizhi."

Upon hearing this, Old Madam’s eyes widened in disbelief: "You despicable woman! How detestable, to absolve yourself from blame, you push all these things onto Zhizhi, you’re unfit to be his mother."

Situ Zhi was only nine years old, no wonder Old Madam couldn’t believe it.

"Mother-in-law, this is absolutely true, your daughter-in-law would never dare deceive you."

"Absolutely true?" Old Madam sneered coldly, "Since you say it was done by Zhizhi, do you have any evidence?"

"Evidence?"

"Of course, as the saying goes, ’To catch a thief, you need to catch them with the loot; to catch a cheat, you need to catch the pair.’ Putting such a big accusation on Zhizhi’s head, do you not even have any evidence?" Old Madam was certain Auntie Tang was lying.

Situ Zhi was born cruel, and because he had Auntie Tang, his birth mother, to cover for him, no one in the mansion had noticed over the years.

"Mother-in-law, haven’t you noticed that during the time your daughter-in-law was not in the mansion, a lot of servants from Zhizhi’s courtyard have gone missing?"

Old Madam gave a sarcastic laugh, "Zhizhi said that to reduce the household’s expenses, Xuexue specifically cut down the number of servants in each courtyard. What’s so strange about that?"

"If Mother-in-law doesn’t believe me, you can call Xiaxia to question her."

Xiaxia was the maid specifically responsible for taking care of Situ Zhi’s daily life, and also Auntie Tang’s confidante, the only one who knew Situ Zhi’s secret and was still alive.

"Xiaxia?"

Old Madam was momentarily taken aback; she recognized this person and knew she was Zhizhi’s personal Maid.

"Exactly. She knows every single move of Zhizhi very well. If Mother-in-law doesn’t believe me, you can call her over to inquire, and then you will know the truth."

Old Madam looked at Auntie Tang, seeing her so confident and seemingly not intending to lie, she couldn’t help but frown, thinking, could it be that this matter is true? However, to think that Situ Zhi, only nine years old, could have killed hundreds of people? That was too shocking to believe.
